Will indexes are great. 1901 & 1911 census, you must use Tom's
directories to find the address, then you have to look in the index
to find the street, then you look at the census. This is very
different than the USA. No soundex! Census information is similar
to the USA records.

Birth, Death & Marriage Records
Birth 1864 to present, most are indexed by quarter within one year.
This includes date & place of birth, sex, fathers name and
address, mothers maiden and surname, profession of father,
Informant's signature and address, etc. These are good.
Death 1864 to present, most are indexed by quarter within one year.
This includes: date & place of death, name, sex, condition,
age, occupation, cause of death, signature and address of
informant. This record doesn't contain parent's names.
Marriage 1864 to present, not all Jewish marriages were recorded,
synagogues kept marriage records too. Try the synagogue
first. I found synagogue records which contain parents
information. I didn't find any at this location.

Cemeteries
2 in Dublin
Dolphins Barn is the newer cemetery. You must have
appointment to visit. They are very helpful.
Naturalization's
Ireland was not given independence until after 1910 from England.
Early naturalization pre 1910 are in Kew, London, England at the
Public Record's Office.
See other FAQ's under United Kingdom for more information on the
PRO in England
These are the sources I investigated, some of which I used when I
researched there in 1996 and upates made 7/2001. This list is a
starting point. There was a fire in 1922 at the PRO and records were
destroyed.
Any updates, corrections, etc. Please Email to aaronr@gte.net.
